That’s a lot of baking sweets.

I still can’t get into this show. What is the purpose? Is it trying to satirize something?The last few episodes have not been effective satire, because there isn’t even a clear target for the satire. But I’m not sure this episode was even supposed to be satire. I’ve heard that this is satirizing the lives of salarymen. That seems like a stretch to me. It didn’t really seem to be making fun of anything. It seemed more like it was trying to tell a story.

Even worse, it wasn’t a particularly interesting story. The girl eats a banana, runs into her grandpa, goes into the forest, and slips on a banana peel. Wash, rinse, repeat five times. It was basically Endless Eight condensed into a single episode.

Now, to be fair, the story isn’t over yet. They could still turn it around in the next episode.

But based on what happened in the last arc, I doubt it. I’m still reeling from the idea of centering a story around two space probes being lonely.

Pretty much the only part of this show I’m still enjoying is the main character’s snark.
